The classic demonstration that cell plasma membranes are composed ofbilayers depends on the following kinds of data:• The membrane lipids from 4.74 x 109erythrocytes will form a monolayer of area 0.89 m2when spread on a water surface.• The surface of one erythrocyte is approximately 100 μm2in area. Show that these data can be accounted for only if the erythrocyte membrane is a bilayer.

Molecular diameters of proteins IgG and TNFα are 11.2 nm and 4.4 nm, respectively. The diffusion coefficient of IgG in a dilute aqueous solution at 37oC is 2.8 ⤬ 10-7 cm2/s. Estimate the diffusion coefficient of TNFα in a dilute aqueous solution at the same temperature.
r^2=6Dt , where D is the diffusion coefficient of thediffusing object and t is the time that the object is allowed to diffuse. If the diffusion coefficient, D, of a small protein is 5 x 10^-10 m2 s-1, how long (on average) does ittake for the protein to diffuse across a parasitic wasp that is 189 um long ?
The following observations are made on an unknownmembrane protein, X. It can be extracted from disrupted erythrocyte membranes into aconcentrated salt solution, and it can be cleaved into fragments by proteolytic enzymes. Treatment of erythrocytes with proteolytic enzymes followed by disruption and extraction of membrane components yields intact X. However, treatment of erythrocyte “ghosts” (which consist of just plasma membranes, produced by disrupting the cells and washing outthe hemoglobin) with proteolytic enzymes, followed by disruption and extraction, yields extensively fragmented X. What do these observations indicate about the location of X in the plasma membrane? Do the properties of X resemble those of an integral or peripheral membrane protein?
Two co-op students at your start-up company have been asked to evaluate the rate of reaction occurring in a transparent gel particle containing immobilized mouse melanoma cells. The equation for the reaction rate ris is: Vmax T'As Km+CAs where R=3.2 mm, Vmax= 0.12 gmol s' m3, CAS = 41 gmol m3, and Km=0.8 gmol m3. One student reports a reaction rate of 1.6x10 gmol st; the other reports 1.6x10 1º gmol s1. You left your calculator on the bus this morning, but must know quickly which student is correct. Use an order-of- magnitude calculation to identify the right answer. Which student is correct?
Assume the following for a cell: Vm= +60 mV [Na+]out 100 mM [Na+]in = 1 mM [K+]out = 1 mM [K+]in = 100 mM Both Na+ and K+ are permeable. Ignore the possibility of the other ions. = a) Calculate the ratio: PNa+/PK+ b) Can you deduce anything about the individual values of PNa+ or PK+
The inner leaflet (monolayer) of the human erythrocyte membrane consists predominantly of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine. The outer leaflet consists predominantly of phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin. Although the phospholipid components of the membrane can diffuse in the fluid bilayer, this sidedness is preserved at all times. How?

In 1925, E. Gorter and F. Grendel used an apparatus like that described in Problem 1 to determine the surface area of a lipid monolayer formed bylipids extracted from erythrocytes of several animal species. They used a microscope to measure the dimensions of individual cells, from which they calculated the average surface area of one erythrocyte. They obtained the data shown in the table below. Were these investigators justified in concluding that “chromocytes [erythrocytes] are covered by a layer of fatty substances that is two molecules thick” (i.e., a lipid bilayer)?
